Last year, Bruce Willis received a heartbreaking diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). His ex-wife, Demi Moore, recently shared a touching message with fans about how she is coping with this devastating news and supporting him through this difficult time.
The 68-year-old Die Hard actor had already taken a step back from the spotlight to focus on his health, as he had been struggling with another condition called aphasia. Then, in 2022, his loved ones announced that he had been diagnosed with FTD, a disease that affects behavior and language. Since then, they have all come together to rally around the Hollywood icon and raise awareness for this condition.
During an interview on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Demi opened up about how Bruce is doing. When asked if she has any words of advice for others in similar situations, she shared, "I think the most important thing I could share is just to meet them where they're at." She emphasized the importance of letting go of expectations and simply being present with a loved one who is going through a difficult time. "Take in the joy and the love that is present and there for all that they are, not all that they're not," she added.
In a subsequent interview on Good Morning America, Demi further discussed Bruce's condition, saying, "Given the [circumstances], he's doing very well." She reiterated her belief in meeting loved ones where they are and finding joy in the present moment.
Demi and Bruce were married in 1987 and had three daughters together before their divorce in 1998. However, they have maintained a close friendship for the sake of their family. Demi also has a strong bond with Bruce's current wife, Emma Heming Willis. As a family, they have faced many challenges, including Bruce's aphasia diagnosis in 2022 and his FTD diagnosis in 2023.
Although there is currently no cure for FTD, the family has used their platform to raise awareness and support others who are affected by this disease. Demi's daughter Tallulah recently appeared on the Drew Barrymore Show and shared why they have been so open about their father's illness. "If we can take something that we're struggling with as a family and use it to help others, that's really special for us," she explained.
Tallulah also discussed how she has found healing by delving into her father's world and treasured possessions. She revealed that his health has remained the same, and the most important thing for her is seeing that he still loves her. "It's my dad, and he loves me, which is really special," she said.
As the family continues to support Bruce through his battle with FTD, they hope to spread awareness and help others who may be facing similar challenges. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, you can reach out to the entertainment team or submit it through their website.
